Who do you think will be the most dominant big man in the league over the next 10 years?
The obvious choice is Dwight Howard, but my money is on Greg Oden. Once he gets acclimated to the NBA I think that he'll be more dominant than Dwight on the defensive end of the court, and will be able to expand his offense beyond monster dunks.
I'm going to throw Andrew Bynum in the mix too, before he got hurt last year he was showing some signs of being late 1990's Shaq-like.
Who ya Got?

I like the Oden pick here. Dwight Howard's the easy choice, but I think Oden will look better because of the great team being built around him.

Nothing against Oden, Bynum or Amare but D12 gets my vote he's already the best big man in the NBA right now and in the next couple of seasons he'll be pretty much unstoppable. Him being a beast aside I just love dudes personality he has that similar swagger/charisma that made Shaq a superstar.

I've heard a lot about Oden's health lately that makes me a little iffy on him. The wrist, the microfracture surgery that apparently only Amare can come back from. I've earn heard one of his legs is shorter than the other, does anybody know if there is truth to this?
Dwight is good because of his athletic ability, he doesn't really have a skill set other than to overpower and out-explode his opponents. That makes me scared as he gets older.
Bynum is smooth. And by smooth, I mean silk. This guy looks like he knows exactly what he's doing. He has the skill set that will make him successful for years. He's also really young. If he continues his growth then he'll be the best big man for the next 10 years

Not sure about his leg length lol but it was being reported that he rolled his ankle yesterday. That's no biggie anybody that balls knows that can happen quite often but he sure as hell needs to work on his conditioning especially when your that big and you missed an entire year.

Have you guys seen the recent pics of Andrew Bynum? Dude has hit the weight room and is huge... Thank god hes out west and we only have to deal with him twice a year.

I was thinking the SAME thing the other day when I saw those pics. He's definitely not a softy anymore. Dude is BIG. I can't help but compare him, at least size-wise, to how Shaq developed.

ESPN was on the verge of calling Oden a bust already on most of the shows I watched today besides Screaming A Smith who told them to calm down and he just needs more time to get use to the NBA. Like I said earlier he just needs better conditioning like Okafor seems to have now. lt does make me wonder if Portland is still happy about passing on KD now though...

Hmmm. Oden has played one half of regular season NBA action and now is out for another 2-4 weeks. So he's out.
It's Dwight Howard as far as best of the 3. But Bynum has the best team around him so he is the better shot at winning a championship.
Dwight Howard is good, but I just don't think he can carry a team to a Championship,
